Aries (March 20–April 19) Libra (September 22–October 22) Taurus (April 20–May 19) Scorpio (October 23–November 21) Gemini (May 20–June 20) Sagittarius (November 22–December 21) Cancer (June 21–July 21) Capricorn (December 22–January 19) Leo (July 22–August 22) Aquarius (January 20–February 17) Virgo (August 23–September 21) Pisces (February 18–March 19) We can get information about Astrology from newspapers and magazines every day. However, how much do we really understand about it? Do we know about its ancient origins? What do we know about its mythical base? As Greek and Roman myth implies, Astrology’s origins are based on our observance of the visible Planets. But how can mythological teachings from ancient times be relevant to our modern society? Astrology is basically about mathematical interactions between planets. Aries starts the mathematical cycle whereas Pisces ends it. Most important of all, each sign reflects a different phase of man’s evolution within the universe. The analysis of astrology is basically according to the time and the place of one’s birth, the so-called“Natal”. Each figure of birth can be applied to a certain Horoscope, namely, Aries, Taurus Gemini, Cancer, Leo, Virgo, Libra, Scorpio, Sagittarius, Capricorn, Aquarius, Pisces. Sometimes people look to Astrology as a predictive tool for their future life. It proposes certain potential trends in our lives but never makes accurate predictions. It is only about giving the best possible options in life. What we should pay attention to is how Planetary interaction affects our lives. We are all part of the universe. We should protect the environment and make positive connections with it. With the correct attitude, we can understand ourselves better on a larger scale. Furthermore, we can also apply the Astrology concept to medical studies, business, stock market, election, or even weather forecast. However, it should be based on an environmental perspective, instead of mysticism. |
神秘暗示 星星的细语 |
每天,我们都能从报章杂志等处看到有关占星术的信息。但是,我们对于占星术真正懂得多少?我们真的知道它的源起吗?我们真的知道它所涉及的神话基础吗? 基于希腊和罗马神话的暗示,我们得知占星术起源于天空中可以看到的星体。但是,远古时代所知的星座知识,与现代社会已有相当大的差异了。 占星术的基本原理是星体间的相对运动。相互循环以白羊座为始,以双鱼座为终。但最重要的是,每一个星座皆代表了人类在宇宙进程中的不同面相。 占星术的分析,主要的根据是人的出生时间、地点,即所谓的Natal(生辰时地)。每一个生辰时间都可以找到相对应的星座,它们依次是白羊座、金牛座、双子座、巨蟹座、狮子座、处女座、天秤座、天蝎座、射手座、魔羯座、水瓶座和双鱼座。 有时候,人们把占星术当成一种占星未来的工具。如此一来,可能凭添了太多的神秘色彩,从而使人们忽略了占星术知识系统的真正智能。占星术也许能显现出某种倾向,但它决不可能准确地预测生命的未来,它只不过能提供生活上可能的选择而已。 我们应该留意的是星球运动与你我生活上的关系。我们都是宇宙的一部分。我们应好好地保护自己居住的环境,并且跟我们的环境保持互存互利关系。有了这样的正确态度,才能从更大的格局层面更了解自己。 此外,我们也可以将占星术的概念应用到医疗、商业、股市、选举甚至天气预报等方面。但是不论如何,都应该建立在环境保护的基础上来应用,而不只是看成神秘主义。 |
